Ok,getting myself acquainted with the Mazda @ Laguna (as i know the layout), what's a respectable time on the stock setup to aim at?
Man of Honour
My best time is a 1:43.1, which was set a while ago.
I'd say I'm around average pace with an iRating that stays around 2200-2400.

Annoying problem/error on my part.
I do the practise before the race,get a greyed out "wait" in the box,but when quali comes around it stays greyed out!
This mean all other racers left or am i reading something wrong? Or have i joined a practice only session and i'm hanging about for nothing?

In the race/prac/qual/time trial box top right of site. Make sure the race is chosen, you then click on the race time to register, which allows you to join practice. Some races have quali separate from the race, some have it just before.
If you are in the practice session and have regd for the race, it should give you a message to please join race, and a race button will appear when you hold down escape.

If you register for a race then you have the option to join. This will put you into a practice session until the race is due to start. Sometimes it will automatically place you in the race when it's due to start. Sometimes you have to click to join.
If join a practice session separately then you have to exit, then click on withdraw before you can join any another session.

Managed to Qualify on pole at the weekend, pulled out about 8 tenths gap on the first lap only to get shunted from behind at the bus stop
The guy who did it was very apologetic at the end though, he locked up and couldn't slow down any more so I guess it is just one of those things
I'm getting a much better feel for the skippy now though and feel a lot more comfortable
Got to learn the next track now ready for racing this week

Managed a 2:51.5 in the skippy at Spa after a few laps, not sure how that stacks up but it was really nice to drive there. Easy to overdrive but you can hang onto it on the edge, only losing some time instead of the back end!

Well done, what are you going to race in C class now?

The RUF is a good purchase as you get 3 (or 4?) versions and 2 are used in official series.
The C-Spec is my personal favorite car on the service. RUF Cup is currently fixed setup though, which holds you back from being able to tune it to your driving style, spoils some of the enjoyment for me.

Participation has not been as good since they moved to fixed, but its still good (races every 2 hours though)
In my experience driving standards were very good, best racing I've ever had on the service in some races.

Loving Monza in the Skippys this week, two wins in a row this afternoon
Plus, got a wee something for my wheel..
Plus, the brake pedal from Nixam eventually arrived after nearly three weeks, have to say it does feel a lot better than the standard G27 brake..

Not had one shunt at turn one yet, although you will obvbiously get your maniacs dive bombing. I did have on elast night, who dive bombed me 3 times, eventually he spun and hit me, forced me into the pits. He of course turns around and drives away with no damage and finishes 5th, I come in a lowly 10th...
Have you guys seen the new development blog, detailing the new surface model they're introducing in the next build, looks pretty cool:

So now the tracks will rubber up, gain marbles and change temperature correctly based on both the lines taken by the drivers and also the sun. I imagine there's going to be a lot of whining sooner or later but sounds like a good thing to me
